Performance reviews. Scheduled at scale.
Review season without the scheduling chaos.
Performance review season means hundreds of 1-on-1s to coordinate. Schedly automates the scheduling of every review conversation — letting managers spend their time on feedback, not calendar management.
The exact flow your clients experience
From first click to confirmed booking — every step automated by Schedly.
Create your review event type
Set up a review event type with the right duration, discussion topics, and any pre-review intake questions for employee self-assessment.
Send scheduling links to all employees
Email each employee their booking link to schedule their review. They self-select from their manager's available slots.
Reviews appear on both calendars
Both manager and employee receive calendar invites immediately. The entire review schedule populates over days — not weeks of coordination.
Pre-review self-assessment intake
Optional intake forms prompt employees to submit their self-assessment and discussion topics before the meeting — making reviews more productive.
Everything you need for this use case
Manager-specific availability windows
Set dedicated review windows on specific days. Employees book within those windows, keeping the rest of the manager's calendar protected.
Pre-review self-assessment forms
Collect employee self-assessments, goal progress, and discussion topics before the review through structured intake forms.
HRIS and calendar integration
Connect Schedly to your HRIS or calendar system to sync review schedules and reduce duplicate data entry.
Bulk scheduling link distribution
Send booking links to all employees via email or HRIS bulk communication. Each person schedules their own review independently.
"Schedly made this use case trivially easy to set up. My clients love the self-serve experience, and I love that the whole thing runs on autopilot."
Performance Review Scheduling: Eliminating the Calendar Bottleneck From Your Most Important Conversations
Performance reviews are among the most important conversations in organizational life — and among the most poorly scheduled. The typical performance review scheduling process: HR sends an email asking all managers to schedule reviews within a 3-week window. Managers email their direct reports to find times. Reports respond with availability. Managers create calendar invites. The coordinated effort of dozens of managers and hundreds of employees creates a scheduling coordination burden that falls heavily on HR, delays the review process when managers are slow to schedule, and often compresses into a last-week rush as the deadline approaches. Self-scheduling replaces this coordination burden with a link that each employee uses to book their own review within a manager-configured availability window.
Pre-Review Preparation Intake: Making Reviews More Productive for Both Parties
The most effective performance reviews are dialogues, not monologues — requiring both parties to have prepared perspectives on the past period and the future. Schedly's intake form for performance review bookings can prompt employees to complete a self-assessment before their scheduled review: key accomplishments from the review period, areas where they feel they could have performed better, goals for the next period, and specific topics they want to discuss. This structured self-reflection, submitted before the review, serves two purposes: the manager receives the employee's perspective in advance (enabling a more informed review conversation), and the employee arrives with organized thoughts rather than having to formulate them in real time during the review itself.
Review Season Capacity Management: Distributing the Load Across the Review Window
Review season without scheduling control creates a predictable pattern: reviews cluster in the final days before the deadline, creating a crunch that degrades review quality for both managers and employees. Schedly's availability configuration for performance reviews lets managers define a spread of availability across the review window — daily booking limits prevent back-to-back all-day review schedules, and the defined booking window ensures reviews distribute across the designated period rather than clustering at the end. The result: managers have productive, focused review conversations throughout the review period rather than exhausted end-of-window reviews. Employees receive higher-quality feedback because their manager isn't on their 8th review of the day.
